Re: [et-mgmt-tools] Kernel panic while booting rhel4 via pxe

["niyaz chistee" <prime.provogue@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay now I tried one more thing. This time I installed vmware on the same machine on which my cobbler setup was. And I booted RHEL4 via PXE and it booted and got installed. But what is happening when I try to boot my Virtual machine from VMware which itself is installed on a separate machine with windows xp as host. I even have bridged virtual interface in vmware /dev/vmnet0 on both places but it works on the same machine on which cobbler is but not on the different machine with vmware.

Thanks

Well, finally I got to try my cobbler koan setup on a physical client and it worked with charm (had to adjust the kickstart a little to get a fully un-attended installation). So I configured two profiles now one helps in creating virtual machines on the same cobbler server and another one helps in creating new physical machines. But then also the problem mentioned earlier remains.
I am not able to install a new virtual machine via vmware. Do I need to create a new separate profile for vmware .

Thanks for all help.

Thanks for the quick reply once again. I did append ramdisk_size=8192 or ramdisk_size=16438 but it didn't helped. Same error once again. One more thing to tell you is that I am trying to install the client via VMware in windows. Does this situation creates this error?

Thanks in advance.

You do not appear to have a ramdisk_size=8192 OR ramdisk_size=16438 in
your 'append' line of '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default'. Maybe (just
maybe) that is the cause of the this problem..
